RICHARDSON, TX, January 07, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Larry Sherrell has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
A strategic Human Resources Business Partner with a 30+ year track record of creating and aligning HR processes to business strategy in high growth and high profitability organizations, Larry Sherrell began his career at General Motors as a Labor Relations Representative. He subsequently held positions of Sr. Personnel Analyst, Employment Manager and Labor Relations Manager. Over the years, Mr. Sherrell gained valuable expertise at Abbott Laboratories where he was responsible for HR leadership in pharmaceutical sales and marketing and diagnostics operations. He additionally served as a Human Resources Director at Texas Instruments where he led organizational change initiatives on speed and innovation and created and implemented leadership development and mentoring programs for high potential engineers.
Mr. Sherrell further excelled as the U.S. HR Director for Gibson Energy. He played a leadership role in launching an effective talent management and succession planning process, developing the capability of leaders, managers and employees to achieve business objectives and leading the integration of HR processes of a 1,300-employee acquisition with existing U.S. HR processes. As the Vice President, Human Resources for Lexipol, Mr. Sherrell played a senior leadership role in creating and leading quarterly Town Hall Meetings for all employees, conducting an annual employee engagement survey that determined the top three areas for improvement and partnering with the CFO to make needed improvements in employee benefits cost effectively.

Although his career has been filled with many highlights, Mr. Sherrell is most proud of two achievements. He negotiated the settlement to a dispute between Gibson Energy and the Teamsters Union in 2016 and led a talent acquisition initiative in 2018 that resulted in the hiring of strong senior level talent, e.g., the Chief Revenue Officer who was promoted to CEO two years later.
